פרשת ויצא (לפני חנוכה)

בס"ד

Dear Parents,

This week we started to prepare for Chanukah along with our other learning.

Here are some things we learned this week:

Hagim (Holidays):

We started our new workbook for Chanukah! We learned the story of Chanukah and we learned the Hebrew words: “Yehudim” (Jews) and “Yevanim” (Greeks).

Prayer:

We are practicing the blessings for lighting the “Chanukiya” (Chanukah menorah). We have added the song “הַנֵרוֹת הַלָלוּ” (Hanerot Halalu) -the song that we sing after lighting the Chanukiya.

Hebrew workbook:

This week, during the Alef Bet unit, we finished  Part 4 of the workbook!!!

We reviewed the Aleph-Bet letter names with their sounds and the vowel sound “AH” up to the letter Tav. We also focused on: “Shin” and “Sin”. We practiced writing words and placing the dot on the right place. (Shin- on the right Sin-on the left). I am sending it home for you to keep and review.

We will start a new Choveret (workbook) with the vowel “Tsereh” (the short E sound). We will learn to spell words with both vowels we have learned (Ah and short E).

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "

This week’s book is called:"שַרונה אוֹהבת אדום" -“Sharona Ohevet Adom” (Sharona Likes Red).

We read this book as a continuation of our unit of “"מָה בַכִּיתָה? (What is in the classroom?). Each student got to color his or her own book. (If your child didn’t finish coloring the book, please let him/her finish it at home).

Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend. It is a great way to practice all the vocabulary we have learned in this unit.

Ariot:

This week Ariot went to Rena‘s home.

Parashat Hashavua

This Friday you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “ויצא” (Vayeitzei). We learned that the 3 prayer services we say every day were established by each of our forefathers. We also learned the stories of Yaakov’s dream, how Lavan tricked Yaakov into marrying Leah and Rachel, as well as the birth of the 12 sons of Yaakov.

Shabbat Shalom

Morah Irit.
